4x100m freestyle relay tonight


chances for TeamGB in both the men's and the women's



400m freestyle women might also be nice to possibly witness another win for Ledecky or Titmus stealing that title from her

That includes you Commies.

No Negativity In This Thread Please



there really is a reason why i try to avoid this forum, but i like sharing my opinion too much



last night has been a fantastic first evening of olympic sports tbh


both 4x100 freestyle swimming events were top class entertainment


Titmus snatching the 400m crown away from Ledecky, and also McIntosh performing better than Ledecky also a nice surprise for the young canadian



after the swimming i watched good old Angie Kerber not willing to retire just yet, what a stunning 7-5, 6-3 win over Naomi Osaka in the clash of slam champions, Osaka really many errors and Angie knew exactly which placed balls to go for, her slices are still very much a powerful weapon for her


also nice seeing eiffel tower with a light show yet again, during breaks of that tennis game

Team GB was celebrating its best start to an Olympic Games in over four decades as Anna Henderson claimed silver in the women’s road race time trial and divers Yasmin Harper and Scarlett Mew Jensen took bronze in the aquatics centre in Paris.

A British team had not won a medal on the first official day of an Olympics since 2004 and had last taken two of them back in the Moscow Games of 1980 but gutsy performances and a little luck delivered early success and raised fresh hopes of a record haul this summer.

…Great British start……well done the ladies…

Anyone know why there are so many chubby cheeked female swimmers ???

They have statuesque physiques yet at least 60% have podgy faces similar to our friend’s daughter who is on steroids for an illness/condition ..

Eg

World record holder butterfly .. Gretchen Walsh
